Turbotax did not do this on my 2015 return.

This is referring to line B4 of TurboTax's 1099-R form. This is the amount of the distribution that TurboTax believes to be *eligible* for rollover based on the information on the Form 1099-R and your answers to TurboTax's follow-up questions. However, because distributions from a civil-service retirement annuity would typically be a series of substantially equal payments for life or for a period of 10 year or more, the law does not permit these distributions to be rolled over, despite TurboTax indicating otherwise.
Presumably you did not roll over any of these distributions, so you can ignore the amount shown on line B4 of TurboTax's 1099-R form.
As to why this is different from the same form from your 2015 tax file, it's possible that you had indicated in 2015 TurboTax that this distribution was all RMD, preventing TurboTax from being able to consider any of it being eligible for rollover.
